Celtics send Gerald Wallace to Warriors for David Lee

There will be no picks or cash involved in the deal, per CBSSports.com NBA Insider Ken Berger, who has reported that it's a straight-up deal.

The 33-year-old Wallace bottomed out last year, scoring just 1.1 points in nine minutes per game.

Lee came off the bench to spark the Warriors in the NBA finals against Cleveland, but his 7.9 scoring average in the regular season was his lowest since his rookie year of 2005-06. He did average 5.2 rebounds in 18 minutes per game.

Warriors GM: David Lee's fate not yet determined

It was reported earlier this week that the Warriors and Lee's camp came to an agreement that the team would look to find Lee a new team this offseason. Myers is suggesting that that move has not been made.

“I know it’s been reported, but we’re still trying to figure out everything with the roster,” Myers said at a season-ending news conference. “At this stage, we usually have more time before the draft or free agency.

“But I won’t sit here and say we’ve decided anything definitively. If I did, I’d probably end up changing my mind, or we would change our mind. Because what I’ll find out now and what we’ll find out is the next seven days prior to the draft and whatever it is until July 1, there’ll be a lot of different things that’ll be thrown at us that we’ll explore. So it’s not the right time to even say we’re absolutely going in one direction or the other.”

Lee played in just 38 minutes over six games during the NBA Finals.

Report: Warriors trying to find taker for David Lee

by Sean d'Oliveira | CBSSports.com

(6/17/2015)After a season of mostly sitting on the bench while being the team's highest paid player, the Warriors and forward David Lee have agreed to part ways, sources told ESPN.

Lee's representatives and the Warriors will work together to find Lee a new team in the offseason.

Lee played 38 minutes over six games in the NBA Finals and he received just 12 minutes in the Western Conference Finals against Houston.

Kerr vows to continue playing Warriors C David Lee

The center emerged from the bench to give the Warriors a spark. He scored 11 points on 4-for-4 shooting and added four rebounds, two assists and a steal in just 13 minutess. Kerry certainly took notice.

"Yeah, you'll see more of David Lee," Kerr told the New York Post. "He played really well."

Lee, who has been anticipating a trade from Golden State the last two years, had not played in the previous three playoff games and was given just 12 minutes in the Western Conference finals against Houston.

Warriors C David Lee thinks team will try to trade him in offseason

Lee, who's role has been dramatically decreased throughout the season, feels like the team will continue to try and move him -- like they've done for the last two years.

"I think they tried to trade me the last two years, didn't they?" Lee said. "That's nothing new, but once again, what's kind of predicted and what ends up happening is not always the same thing. We'll just see what happens. I love it here. We have accomplished a lot here. We'll see once the season's over. The most important thing, though, is getting this ring first and then worrying about that later."

The Warriors are in a position where priority will be to sign Draymond Green to a big-money extension this offseason, and Klay Thompson's extension kicks in next year so that can make Lee's contract expendable.

Lee has played just 7.6 minutes per game throughout the Warriors playoff run.

Warriors C David Lee working to adjust to limited role

by Ruben Palacios | Staff Writer

(6/4/2015)Warriors center David Lee has averaged 31.5 minutes per game throughout his career. During his team's playoff run this season, he's averaged just 7.6 minutes per game.

“It’s a different mental approach,’’ Lee said. “You can’t play the same way in five minutes, can’t let the game come to you and settle in. You have to be more aggressive, can’t come in worrying about scoring, just rebounding and playing with max effort. You got to let it all hang out.’’

Lee's position is a difficult one. He was a featured player on the team until a hamstring injury sidelined him for a while and his role diminished.

“I sat out a significant amount of time [with a hamstring injury]. It’s no fun to sit out and my role changed as I came back,” Lee said. “But most importantly I’ve had a lot of individual success in past seasons, and I don’t think anyone doubts my ability to play this game at a high level.

“The biggest thing is finding a way to put this championship together. All season long, it’s sacrificing, not just me but other guys. That’s what it takes to win a championship. It’s not about me or the minutes at this point.… I’ll be ready to contribute if given the chance.”

Warriors' David Lee (back) expects to play in second round

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

(4/27/2015)Warriors center David Lee is ready to return to action after missing the team's first-round sweep of the Pelicans due to a lower back strain, the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Lee has seen a reduction in his role this season, as his averages of 7.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 18.4 minutes per game all fall far short of his production in his first four seasons with the team.

"Although I haven't gotten the minutes sometimes that I've wanted, coach (Steve) Kerr and the rest of the staff has been really cool about being upfront and honest about it and saying that it's circumstance," Lee said. "As a pro, it's my job to stay ready. This isn't about me. It's about our team as a whole, so it's not a big deal at all."

Though Lee didn't play in the first-round series, he was available for Game 4 if needed.

Warriors' Kerr grateful that Iguodala, Lee accepted reserve roles

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(3/4/2015)Warriors coach Steve Kerr acknowledged Tuesday he's grateful that Andre Iguodala and David Lee each accepted a reserve role on the team, which has contributed to Golden State's 46-12 record this season -- only two wins behind the Hawks for the best record in the NBA.

Iguodala only accepted a role off the bench once in his career, and it wasn't even in the NBA. While winning an Olympic gold medal in 2012 as a member of Team USA, Iguodala took a back seat to LeBron James.

"It's one of the most gratifying parts of the season," Kerr said, per the Washington Post. "That's really what you hope for as a coach. That each guy is going to accept a role and understand that that role is designed to make the team better and that it may cost him some minutes and some points and all that stuff. But if everyone buys in, and believes, you've got a pretty strong, powerful force and I think we've achieved that to this point."

Lee also didn't have any objections to Kerr's plans this season when he was told that Draymond Green was a better fit in the starting lineup.

"I've had plenty of years putting up big numbers, being an All-Star and doing things like that. Now it's time to chase a ring and I love what our team is doing and our chemistry. And the character guys on our team, nobody cares who gets the credit," Lee said. "We know that we have two bona fide superstars in Steph and Klay and everybody else is really here to fill around those guys and to make them as successful as possible."

Warriors PF David Lee scores team-high 19 vs. Cavaliers

(2/26/2015)Warriors power forward David Lee scored a team-high 19 points on 8 of 11 shooting in his team's 110-99 loss to the Cavaliers Thursday.

Lee took more than 10 shots in a game for the first time in nearly a month and delivered his highest scoring total in that same span with his efficient performance, but it wasn't nearly enough to counter a massive effort by Cavaliers SF LeBron James, who scored more points by himself (42) than any two Warriors players combined.

Lee also racked up four rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes off the bench in the loss, his team's second in its last three games. The Warriors will look to get back on track Friday against the Raptors in Toronto.

Lee is due to make $15 million next season and is averaging 8.5 points and 5.7 rebounds over 27 games this season.

Warriors C David Lee (hamstring) expected to return Monday

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

(12/20/2014)Warriors center David Lee is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the Kings, the Contra Costa Times reports. On Saturday, Lee went through his first full practice since reinjuring his hamstring in early November.

"He looked good, he was moving really well, his hamstring's fine," coach Steve Kerr said. "He told me everything else is sore now, which is a good sign. He's getting back into basketball shape and running a lot of sprints. But this was the first time he's scrimmaged full court, which was a good step."

"It's never easy to come back off an injury to a team that's winning," Kerr added. "It's tricky. It's a human nature thing, where you don't want to screw up what's going on, but at the same time, you want to make an impact. David's been an All-Star, a 20-and-10 guy his whole career, so it's tricky. I respect that. We're going to talk about that as a team (Sunday), not just in terms of David's situation but the impact it's going to have on everybody."

Lee played just seven minutes in his only appearance this season. He averaged 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds in 69 games for the Warriors last season.
